I think you're ignoring some important changes to Silvally's moveset. It now gets some Special spread moves (Hyper Voice, Icy Wind, and Heat Wave), as well as Tailwind and all 3 Pledge moves. Basically, it's all geared up for Doubles now. Oh, and it also gets Zen Headbutt, Signal Beam, and...

Exactly. Also, what powerful Ghost STAB would it even get? Shadow Claw and Shadow Bone don't fit, so that leaves a more mediocre option with Phantom Force. STAB Shadow Sneak could be nice, but Gyro Ball + Stone Edge or Rock Blast/Slide is a combo that I think is far more worthwhile. I mean, I...

If a gift Pokemon is part of the Undiscovered Egg Group, then it is guaranteed to have 3 flawless IV's and can be Synchronized. So, since the Surfing Pikachu is breedable, placing it squarely in the Field Egg Group, it is unlikely that it will have 3 guaranteed IV's and likely cannot be...

....I multiplied by 6. I think I need to sleep 0_0

Wait, what? I'm confused...Dawn Wings isn't a Flying-Type, and Dusk Mane isn't a Fire-Type. Am I missing something here?

Umm Were you calculating using Brave and a 0 Speed IV? Because the formula for Gyro Ball's BP is: Base Power = 25 × (Target's Current Speed / User's Current Speed) (150 is the cap) This means that, with Stakataka hitting a Speed of 27 at Level 100 when at Min Speed, anything with a Speed of...

I doubt it. Typically the 3 IV rule only applies to Pokemon in the Undiscovered Egg Group.

If I'm not mistaken, the only change that was made to SOS battles is that Pokemon will not call for help after already getting one ally to show up, unless you use an Adrenaline Orb.

Yeah, that's the type of counter measure GF always puts in. It's sort of like how all Megas have overworld animations (walking and running) in the code of SM/USUM, as does Ultra Necrozma, and why Arceus used to have a ??? Form. They know that people will start modding the games to behave in ways...

I don't know about that. Mega Manectric hits entirely on the Special side, as opposed to Zeraora, who will likely be Physical or Physically oriented Mixed in most cases, making it more vulnerable to Intimidate and W-o-W. It could go full Special with T-Bolt, Volt Switch, HP Ice, and Grass...

And also: T'Challa (Incineroar): I played Moon first, and I chose Martha the Popplio. Then in Sun I used Conner Hawke the Rowlet. It's about time I gave Litten some love :) Serenity (Vikavolt): I actually used a Charjabug for a bit in Moon, until I got my hands on a Togedemaru, and so I feel...

I can help remove those question marks for you. Togedemaru and Minior do, without a doubt, get Gravity. Togedemaru also gets Helping Hand, Super Fang, After You, Endeavor, and ACTUAL STEEL STAB THAT'S NOT GYRO BALL (thank God), so it's going to be even better in VGC now. Too bad Dedenne still...

The Starters, Passimian, and Oranguru still aren't available, but hopefully they'll be distributed via Event or as Online Tournament prizes (or both, like they did with the post-launch Mega Stones).

No one said that E-Speed Linoone couldn't get Gluttony. The Ability it didn't have access to before now was its HA, Quick Feet (not that anyone wanted to run Quick Feet Linoone, but now it's an option).

E-Speed Linoone has been available since Gen 3, but now it's an Egg Move for Zigzagoon, making it more easily accessible and compatible with more moves (like Pursuit) and it's HA (but let's face it; no one's running Quick Feet E-Speed Linoone). And yeah, Dragonite, Articuno (it's a shame that...
